Topic: Color sensor (Read 2496 times)

I have been searching for hrs to try and find a color sensor that I can just purchase and I cannot find one that is really what I need. I am using the atemga640 and am trying to find a color sensor that outputs an analog or digital signal not a square wave!I am also looking for one that is just plug and play (which seems too much to ask.lol).If anyone knows of one that seems to be what I am looking for would you please direct me to it ?Thanks for your time

TAOS 8http://www.taosinc.com/) has two colorsensors that you can take a look at. I have one of them, TCS230D, but I haven't had the time to experiment with it yet. It outputs a frequency based on the color detected. The other one, TCS3414, use I2C, I think. If you ask politely they will send you a sample.

I tried the tcs230 and it outputs a square wave. I am trying to get an analog or digital wave. I have written TAOS and am waiting for a response about the other sensor ,but am not sure about it. There is just not much product out there in the way of a color sensor that is just plug and play is there? Thanks for your help.
